Recenzje

From the reviews:

"This is a concise reference on the basic science and pathophysiology of ocular blood flow as it relates to glaucomatous optic neuropathy. The purpose is to give readers a new perspective on the concepts behind glaucoma ... . targeted at ophthalmologists, I think it very likely would be comprehensible for any physician with a basic medical background, as the bulk of the basic science is very well explained. ... this is the only one that appears to be concise and easy to read."
